Aladdin Blue Recycled and Recyclable Tumbler
The need to recycle is key to sustaining our natural resources. Makers of coffee products are doing their part to help with the recycling effort. Aladdin has some offerings that target consumers that want environmentally sound products. One of their offerings is a coffee mug made from recycled plastic that is also a recyclable product. Unlike a lot of recycled products, the price for this mug is low - in most cases, less than $15, shipped to your door.
Aladdin 16 Oz Blue Recycled And Recyclable Tumbler
I tested this 16 ounce mug for convenience and heat retention. I also looked at the more practical aspects, such as the ability to use it in the microwave and to be washed in the dishwasher.
The mug is made of high-quality recycled plastic. It has a double-wall insulation that is as good as many non-green products out there. The lid is a screw-on type with a quality seal that does an excellent job of keeping the coffee in and bad stuff out. The top has a quarter-turn seal that works reasonably well, although tipping the mug on its side will result in some leakage - the seal just slows it down. It acts more like a dust or debris cover, not a liquid tight seal.
The mug holds temperature fairly well if the liquid that is put in it is above 150°. It holds a good enough temperature for 2 hours, after which, it can be warmed up in the microwave. I strongly recommend you heat it with the lid removed so you don't damage the seal.
This mug is dishwasher safe, which a lot of mugs aren't. Thank you, Aladdin, for thinking of the consumer.
I would rate this mug a 9.5 out of 10. If it held heat longer and had a better seal on the top, it would be a 10, easily. Great job, Aladdin!
I hope this review helps you in getting that perfect cup. As always, may your next cup be the best!
